Some girl will make you smile the smiles I long to see,
She will make you feel the things I wanted for me,
And I will sit and watch you be happy-
Just like I've always wanted you to be,
But not with me,
Not with me.

You can't be selfish when the love is true,
And mine has always been nothing but pure for you,
So I'll look from my detached point of view
As you embark upon something new
Without me,
Without me.

I've walked this road without you for some time,
But inside I half-believed that you were mine,
The lines between faith and hope are fine,
The latter for us is now resigned,
You're not for me,
Not for me.


We never got our start, but somehow now we're through,
And all this time I've fantasized like a silly girl for you,
When is it I get to have something that's real?
And who is it that makes you feel the way you make me feel?
What will this girl have that will be all you need?
And why not me?
Why not me?
